Pope Francis on the protection of migrants and refugees

“It’s not about numbers, it’s about people. If we meet them, we’ll get to know them. And if we know their stories, we’ll be able to understand them.” Pope Francis Ignacio is from Nicaragua, he had to flee with his family to survive... Pope Francis has selected “Forced like Jesus Christ to flee” as the theme for the 106 th World Migrant and Refugee Day (WMRD) which will be celebrated on Sunday, September 27, 2020. His reflections originate in the experience of Jesus Christ and his parents as displaced persons and refugees.
